The document discusses Oracle's strategy of simplifying IT through engineered systems like Exadata and Exalogic. It provides an overview of Oracle's engineered systems, how they are optimized and integrated to work together at both the hardware and software levels. Key benefits highlighted include extreme performance, manageability, support and lower costs compared to traditional systems. The document also introduces the new Exalogic X3-2 system which provides more cores, memory and flash at the same price point as previous versions.
